The Swamp Always Wins: Mike Johnson Expects to Lead House Republicans After Election
Wendell Husebø 8 May 2024
Embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) expects to remain the GOP House leader after the November elections, he told reporters Tuesday.
Johnson appears to feel entitled to the post despite forming a coalition government with House Democrats.
He faces a motion to vacate the speakership on Wednesday after allowing Democrats to seize the House to pass President Joe Biden’s campaign promises. Democrats are pleased with Johnson’s willingness to help pass Biden’s agenda. In turn, Democrats, such as Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and establishment Republicans are expected to help Johnson to remain in power.
If Johnson survives the motion to vacate, he will likely lead the Republican House conference through election day. His chief responsibility is to help Republicans maintain control of the House. Johnson’s chances of success appear narrow to slim, according to the layout of the electoral map.

No, Speaker. The election is on November 5, but this Congress remains in session until early January so he'll remain Speaker through the election.
Whether or not he's elected Speaker of the next Congress is an entirely different matter.

Unless enough Republicans walk off the job right now. But after the election there's a good chance we'll lose the House.

Um, wasn't it the House Republicans who voted to make Johnson Speaker? Once again, House Republicans are foiled by themselves.
